A hilarious tale of hijinks, cows and a well-meaning sister with a comical culture clash between Anglo-Saxons and Normans. From the rising star of children's historical fiction, Iszi Lawrence, this is the perfect adventure for fans of Emma Carroll and Jacqueline Wilson.
It's 1086 CE in Anglo-Saxon England and young Nora has learned that her older sister is being forced to marry a Norman. How can she prevent this from happening? By hiding her father's cattle to make their family appear poor, of course!
But when the Norman arrives, Nora's sister immediately takes a fancy to him. Will Nora be able to get the cattle back before all is lost? Join Nora on this exciting adventure filled with sneaking around and secret plans to find out if she gets caught...
